Chapter Two: Second Year
XXX
Lily could not believe her luck. She had gotten stuck next to Potter in virtually all her classes. The only one they weren't in together was Muggle Studies and for that, Lily was grateful. However, she wasn't so lucky in Charms, Potions, Transfigurations, History of Magic, and every other class she happened to be taking.
James Potter was next to her now in Defense Against the Dark Arts. Their current professor was useless and moronic. He spoke in a lulling monotone and Lily was bored to death. Beside her, James sat doodling in his notebook Snitches, stick figures holding hands, and other silly things.
"Today," the old professor drawled, "We will be learning about your common goblin." Lily sighed. This was such basic knowledge! She had already read it, while paging through her book late at night. Not only that, but she had read at least five chapters ahead with the idea in mind that it would be challenging. This was as incorrect as incorrect could get.
Lily cracked open her Potions text book, silently so as not to disrupt the professor from his speech, in a vain attempt to improve the subject she did worst at. Slowly, she leafed through to the potion Professor Slughorn told them they would work on that day and worked on memorizing whatever she could. Lily had just gotten past the ingredients when a folded piece of parchment landed on her page. She glanced up at the boy sharing a desk with her, watching him look away nervously. "Potter," she grumbled quietly.
After a second, Lily precariously lifted the note with thumb and forefinger. But before she could read it, James snatched it away nervously. Obviously, it seemed he was experiencing second doubts. Lily decided to just let it go, since Potter was such a prick and she had concretely chosen not to care about him or his actions at all. Yet, something nagged her about that note for the rest of the day.
